Following the June 22 arrest, police said Oliveras entered a home earlier in the day on Harrison Avenue in Endicott to steal copper. Oliveras had several duffel bags filled with copper piping when officers arrested him in Owego.

According to pressconnects.com / the Press & Sun-Bulletin, police said they believed the case was related to additional recent copper thefts. More than 25 vacant homes around Binghamton were burglarized and stripped of copper, according to police.

Burglaries were reported at homes on Vestal, Sherwood and Pennsylvania avenues along with Mill Street. Police said each targeted home is vacant with a posted "For Sale" realty sign outside.
